Say NO to the Big Beautiful Bill

To: Sen. Baldwin, Sen. Johnson, Rep. Van Orden

From: A constituent in La Crosse, WI

May 21

Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” is Project 2025 in legislative form. This alters budget reconciliation into a way to enact Trumps agenda and skirts the typical checks & balances that allow our country to understand its repercussions. Here are examples of its ties to Project 2025: - Sec. 10008 - Expands work requirements for SNAP - Project 2025: Pushes “moral reform” to make low-income people work more for food assistance. - Sec. 10011 - Repeals education & obesity prevention grants - Project 2025: Eliminates “social engineering” and funnels funding into “traditional values” education. - Sec. 10012 – Restricts immigrant access to SNAP - Project 2025: Blocks aid to undocumented and many legal immigrants. - Sec. 20001 – Military expansion for “quality of life” and Indo-Pacific readiness - Project 2025: Backs massive defense buildup, especially near China and the southern border. - Guts environmental protections - Sec. 42108: Repeals Clean Air Act provisions used to limit emissions. - Sec. 42117: Eliminates environmental and climate justice block grants. - Sec. 42301: Strips EPA authority to enforce vehicle emissions standards. - Project 2025: Calls for dismantling the EPA and climate regulation entirely. - Centralizes power in the executive - Sec. 30051: Blocks executive agencies (like Education) from issuing new rules without meeting strict cost-benefit thresholds. - Sec. 30061: Prohibits the Secretary of Education from proposing new regulations. - Project 2025: Places all federal agencies under direct presidential control. - Weakens federal worker protections - Sec. 90004: Allows new federal hires to be fired at will—reviving “Schedule F.” - Sec. 90005: Increases pension contributions for federal workers. - Sec. 90006: Eliminates early retirement supplements. - Project 2025: Aims to purge and replace career civil servants with political loyalists. - Limits state authority - Sec. 44001: Preempts state & local governments from regulating artificial intelligence for 10 years. - Project 2025: Seeks centralized control when state laws conflict with federal priorities. - Defunds watchdogs & public interest enforcement - Sec. 51001: Defunds the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). - Sec. 52001: Cuts regulatory enforcement resources from oversight bodies like the PCAOB. - Project 2025: Labels oversight & regulation as “deep state overreach.” This is the Project 2025 playbook written into law. It abuses budget reconciliation rules to jam through non-budget items, like education authority rollbacks, environmental deregulation, and civil service purges. It’s one step closer to Eliminating the need for Congress to be part of the government. Did you read the bill? Are you concerned for your citizens you represent? What will you do about it? Don’t support the big beautiful bill. Don’t listen to the propaganda. Do uphold the constitution and its checks and balances.
